I use javascript to do this sort of thing eg.
in your template call javascript function eg.
<div>
result = yearsBeforeToday('{{ model.date|date:"Y-m-d H:i:s" }}');
</div>
yearsBeforeToday is javascript function, does all the calculation for
your date.
model.date is the date value you are getting from the view that's
calling the template.
